A client has been diagnosed with pernicious anemia. During client education, the nurse emphasizes the importance of lifelong intramuscular administration of what?

The nurse is assessing several clients. Which client does the nurse determine is most likely to have Hodgkin lymphoma?

Immature lymphocytes proliferate in the marrow and impede the development of normal myeloid cells. As a result, normal hematopoiesis is inhibited, resulting in reduced numbers of granulocytes, erythrocytes, and platelets.

A patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a neutrophil count that persists at less than 100/mm3. What should the nurse cautiously monitor this patient for

refers to an increased volume of RBCs. The term is used when the hematocrit is elevated (more than 55% in males, more than 50% in females).

The nurse should advise a client with iron deficiency anemia to take which action in order to prevent staining of the teeth?

The diagnosis is made by means of an excisional lymph node biopsy and frequently, the finding of which type of cell in hodgkins lymphoma?

commonly classified according to the stem cell line involved, either lymphoid (referring to stem cells that produce lymphocytes) or myeloid (referring to stem cells that produce nonlymphoid blood cells).

The clinic nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with leukopenia. What does the nurse know this client has

manifested by hemorrhages into various parts of the body; these hemorrhages can be severe and can occur even after minimal trauma.

A client with a history of atrial fibrillation has contacted the clinic saying that she has accidentally overdosed on her prescribed warfarin. The nurse should recognize the possible need for what antidote?

malignant disease of the most mature form of B lymphocyte—the plasma cell. Plasma cells secrete immunoglobulins, which are proteins necessary for antibody production to fight infection.

is an inherited blood disorder characterized by less oxygen-carrying protein (hemoglobin) and fewer red blood cells in the body than normal.
Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, paleness, and slow growth.
Mild forms may not need treatment. Severe forms may require blood transfusions or a donor stem-cell transplant.

A nurse is assessing a client with multiple myeloma. Due to this condition, what will this client be at risk for?

Usually inherited as a dominant trait, a common bleeding disorder that affects males and females equally. The disease is caused by a deficiency which is necessary for factor VIII activity

Vitamin B and folic acid deficiencies are characterized by production of abnormally large erythrocytes called

results from a defect in the hematopoietic stem cell that differentiates into all myeloid cells: monocytes, granulocytes (e.g., neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils), erythrocytes, and platelets. Any age group can be affected, although it infrequently occurs before age 45, and the incidence rises with age, with a peak incidence at age 67 (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2014a)

is a hereditary blood disorder, primarily affecting males, characterized by a deficiency of the blood clotting protein known as Factor VIII that results in abnormal bleeding.

An oncology nurse is caring for a client with multiple myeloma who is experiencing bone destruction. When reviewing the client's most recent blood tests, the nurse should anticipate what imbalance?

an autoimmune disorder characterized by a destruction of normal platelets by an unknown stimulus.

A client’s blood work reveals a platelet level of 17,000/mm3. When inspecting the client’s integumentary system, what finding would be most consistent with this platelet level?

Increases in uric acid levels, potassium, and phosphate are seen in AML this process is referred to as

is a condition in which blood clots form throughout the body, blocking small blood vessels. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, problems speaking, or problems moving parts of the body.

A patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is having hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with radiation therapy. In which complication do the donor’s lymphocytes recognize the patient’s body as foreign and set up reactions to attack the foreign host?

rare disease caused by a decrease in or damage to marrow stem cells, damage to the microenvironment within the marrow, and replacement of the marrow with fat. Stem cell damage is caused by the body’s T cells mediating an inappropriate attack against the bone marrow, resulting in bone marrow aplasia (i.e., markedly reduced hematopoiesis). Therefore, in addition to severe anemia, significant neutropenia and thrombocytopenia also occur.
